About Our Daycare
For more than 12 years, our small, faith-based daycare has provided a caring and nurturing place for children in our community to learn and grow. We strive to create a grace-filled environment where children feel safe, loved, and encouraged—and where our staff feel supported and valued.
Our smaller class sizes, ranging from approximately 7 to 16 children, allow our teachers to truly get to know the children in their care and build meaningful relationships with them. Our days include learning, play, friendships, and plenty of opportunities to get outside. Children enjoy our outdoor playground as well as seasonal activities like water play on the patio during the summer.
We want our daycare to be a joyful place where children are excited to come each day and where teachers know the work they do matters.
